Haha, I was wondering how the author did subtitles for the text to speech. Turns out they painstakingly hard-coded every one: https://github.com/AndreiBalan-dev/there-is-no-website/blob/... I'm not even disappointed, I'm impressed! That must have been a lot of work.

Thanks for the subtitles. I am Deaf.

Cookie is difficult (

Was easier to use enter + space, rather than a trackpad.

I opened console and did something like:

Note for Firefox users, the "cat video" section is not working, and you will not be able to experience the rest of the app. You are supposed to break the player in a Google Gravity[1] like fashion, but it's broken. They should not "highly" recommend using chrome, but just say it does not work on other browsers. [1] https://mrdoob.com/projects/chromeexperiments/google-gravity...

It’s glitchy af on mobile safari too. Kept freezing up.

Hey guys! Creator of the non-website here. Thank you all very much for the feedback. This thing that is clearly NOT a website was initially done for a hackathon and I never expected it to get more than 5-6 users. It's so amazing and a bit stressful, because I want to offer a great experience at the same time!! Today I tried to make it compatible on phone too mobile users. Hadn't too much time to test it out but I'm o…

Seemingly inspired by There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension

Strongly inspired. That non-game is actually done exceptionally pretty well for something which could work even as a 5min gimmick.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This isn’t a very scathing point when it comes to hobby projects where someone has limited time to test in multiple configurations, so they recommend the one they use when they developed it.

They chose to publicize their hobby project and put it in front of a bunch of people it doesn't work for, they can expect criticism from people doesn't work for.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to admire the work that has been done here while also critiquing the mess that is our web.

Besides, it's not like this is a website anyway.

Not only that, something which did work as a five minute gimmick! I remember playing the original "There is no game" on Kongregate back in high school.
